Yes, that might be the best I can do now.
I been looking for VMWare and Wine and from what I read, I prefer Wine, but 
does it run everything, most of it or almost nothing?
I read it is must harder to install/configure, but I'll give it a try. Or is 
there anyone to convince me that VMWare is better?
I'll erase my windows partition and merge it with gentoo's one. I'll end up 
with ~15Gb for gentoo... which seems to be fairly acceptable. In a future 
stage, I might convert my "share" partition from FAT32 to a linux like. By 
the way, I use reiserfs on my gentoo's partition. Will I have problems to 
resize it?

About the videoconference, I checked the forum and got aware of the cvs 
version of amsn which already supports it. :)

Yes, that was the main reason to have my personal files on other partition. 
As I said, converting this partition will be the next step after removing 
windows and installing wine.
